Which is all why I have to wonder what the hell happened? The other night I turned on "Law & Order: SVU" to see Michael in a guest starring role. He looked like he hadn't showered in months. And, again he was at the creepy serial killer talk. His character had even killed someone's dog because she wouldn't go out with him. Now, I recognize that these are all fictitious roles, but I began to wonder if Michael was only playing the psychotic these days. And, I have to say that my internet searches were not encouraging. Here is our dear, former love sick freshman Henry Parker. (By the way, this photo is from being "out and about," not a role.) He needs a haircut. He needs to bathe. I kind of wonder if he needs to reclaim his dignity. It seems that at one point he played Kurt Cobain. Maybe his research and attempts at method acting took him too far. Some of his other recent film titles include "Delirious," "Silk," and "The Heart is Deceitful Above all Things." I continue to worry. Did anyone else notice that he seems to be wearing a shirt that he inscribed with a message he wrote himself in red marker? (Maybe he didn't just write with the marker, if you know what I mean...) Michael - sure, type casting sucks. But, please remember that being type cast as a heroin addict or unstable murderer is just as bad as being seen only as a teen star. And, maybe your love for Jen Lindley transcended the small screen, and it's been hard for you since Michelle Williams hooked up with Heath Ledger, but please understand that this is not the way to get her, or any other lady, back. So, go on, buck up. Climb in that shower with some dial antibacterial body wash and started living among the rest of us again. After all, Henry Parker wouldn't give up, and I don't think you should either.
